Introduction A diversity of strange-looking creatures makes their home in the tidal pools along the edge of rocky beaches. If you walk out on the rocks at low tide‚ you’ll see a colorful variety of crusty‚ slimy‚ and squishy-looking organisms scuttling along and clinging to rock surfaces. Their inhabitants may not be as glamorous as the megafauna of the Serengeti or the bird life of Borneo‚ but these “rocky intertidal” areas turn out to be great places to study community ecology.
